| Background: Psoriasis is one of the most common dermatologic disorders. It impairs many aspects of individual well-being. Patient education is an integral part of comprehensive chronic disease management. Aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on selfcare practices and functional status among patients with psoriasis. Design: A quasi experimental design was conducted to achieve the aim of the study. Setting: This study was conducted in dermatological department at Benha University Hospital, outpatient clinics and Dermatology Hospital at Benha city. Sample: Purposive sample of 43 psoriatic patients. Tools: Four tools were used in this study; I: Patients' interview questionnaire. II: Patients' knowledge questionnaire. III: Self-care practices assessment. IV: A Disease-Specific Version of the Euro Quality of life-5 Dimensions-5 Level. Results: None of the studied patients had satisfactory level of knowledge preprogram implementation compared to three quarters of studied patients post one month and slightly declined after three month of program. Less than one fifth of studied patients had high practice level pre-program implementation, while it increased post one month and declined slightly post three months. Conclusion: Implementing of an educational program had statistically significant improvement of knowledge, self-care practices and functional status among psoriatic patients.
